Description

From our woodland base camps, we'll explore the nearby woodlands and come up with activity and project ideas together. As usual, group members can choose from and learn a whole range of activities, such as:

shelter-building, wild cookery, fire-making techniques, tool-use & survival techniques; archery; nature photography, pottery, weaving & woodland art galleries; pond dipping, bug-hunting, tracks and trails and camouflage, games and much, much more . . . and we’re looking forward to hearing your child(ren)s ideas too.
